Computer Generated Artist Biography

I am exploring ideas to write a new artist biog, not some thing I have taken very serious in the past, I have even considered having someone else write it for me but feel that knowone really is as qualified for the task as myself (who knows me best), if being genuine and unpretentious is the predominant message I want to get across. I find the task very challenging because first of all, I want to be brief, secondly because every time I come up with a statement as true as it may be, I question it myself and can see myself taking on an opposing side to the very statement. I don't want to back myself into a corner by claiming my art is this or that. In looking for an easy way out of this difficult but needed task I stumbled on the INSTANT BIOG WRITER, just type in your name D.O.B, place of Birth, city and country and place where you work, select a medium and themes from a short list and press the button and this is what you will get:

Mario Carta

Mario Carta (°1960, Buenos Aires, Argentina) makes sculptures and photos. By questioning the concept of movement, Carta tries to focus on the activity of presenting. The character, shape or content of the presented artwork is secondary. The essential things are the momentary and the intention of presenting.
His sculptures isolate the movements of humans and/or objects. By doing so, new sequences are created which reveal an inseparable relationship between motion and sound. With Plato’s allegory of the cave in mind, he makes work that deals with the documentation of events and the question of how they can be presented. The work tries to express this with the help of physics and technology, but not by telling a story or creating a metaphor.
His works are an investigation into representations of (seemingly) concrete ages and situations as well as depictions and ideas that can only be realized in sculpture. By replaying the work for each exhibition and pushing the evocative power of the work a little further, he finds that movement reveals an inherent awkwardness, a humour that echoes our own vulnerabilities. The artist also considers movement as a metaphor for the ever-seeking man who experiences a continuous loss.
His works are presented with the aim not to provide an idealistic view but to identify where light and the environment are important. The energy of a place and its emotional and spiritual vibrations are always important. Mario Carta currently lives and works in Crystal River.

Btw: I had to look up all these concepts that are mentioned here and I still don't understand what the heck it means, reminds me of so many represented artist in top galleries and art elite community.
